This question asks which 'tennis beauty' got married in 2010, with the claimed correct answer being Martina Hingis. Hingis did marry in 2010 (to Thibault Hutin), so the factual claim appears correct.

Several tennis players married in 2010, so the question could be more specific. The question is also time-sensitive and becomes outdated.
